The Influence of Classroom Management on Students' Learning Motivation in Junior High School 30 Solok Selatan

Abstract

Classroom management is one aspect of learning that teachers must master in order for students to learn optimally. The teachers, as class managers, should try to motivate students to focus on learning. Based on the observations and interviews conducted by researchers, it was revealed that students frequently came late, did not do assignments, and frequently missed courses due to exhaustion from studying. This is due to the teacher's lack of classroom management, which results in a lack of student motivation to learn. The study is intended to investigate whether classroom management affects students' learning motivation. The study approach employed is quantitative, with data collected using questionnaires, observation, and interviews. The study subjects were SMP N-30 Solok Selatan students, with a total of 34 respondents and validity and reliability trials on 10 students. The data analysis technique begins with descriptive analysis and is followed by normality testing, linearity tests, and hypothesis tests using SPSS version 23. Simple linear calculations show that management's class has a good and substantial influence on student learning motivation at SMP N 30 Solok Selatan, with 0.488 and Tcount (4.536) > Ttable (2.042). The coefficient of determination is thus 0.287, indicating that class management influences student learning motivation by 28.7% while other factors influence the remainder.
